ODA REDACTED THIS CHARACTER 3 TIMES!
Manga creator Eiichiro Oda's One Piece will welcome back some very special characters in its upcoming chapter with a surprising and heartwarming twist. Known for his intricate storytelling and massive world-building, Oda reaches back to his roots to pay homage to his early days as a manga artist. This development has sent waves of excitement through the One Piece fandom and the wider manga community.
The official preview for the next chapter reveals that Oda will reintroduce pirate characters he first drew 27 years ago, long before the series became a global phenomenon. This gives fans a unique insight into Oda's past and serves as a touching tribute to the friendships and experiences that shaped one of the most influential manga creators of our time.
Sandman, an account on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that Eiichiro Oda will be revisiting characters he created nearly three decades ago. These pirates, drawn when Oda was just starting his career, are said to be based on himself, as well as Nobuhiro Watsuki (creator of Rurouni Kenshin) and Hiroyuki Takei (creator of Shaman King). This nostalgic callback serves as a heartfelt tribute to Oda's formative years in the manga industry.
